Hey Folks

Anyone ever have any problems with black water returning to the head?

Im thinking there must be a damaged check valve some where in line.

Hey Mikey, yep you need a new joker valve. The manual heads use one thats fairly large. The electric versions are much smaller. Both will eventually begin to allow back flow into the bowl. Replacing it isn't a big job and is much cleaner if you run a couple of bowls of water through the system before you start removing hoses. Have fun LOL
